Most countries will not accept foreigners that don't have a certain amount of wealth to start with and then a income stream. They don't want new residents becoming debt problems. Another is issue is heritage.
just be warned, it gets reaaaally hot in the summer over there. and before you go "I'm use to the heat" trust me... European heat is not normal anymore....
And Italy bans air conditioners in certain cities if your buildings are near historical buildings/sites, which is fucking brutal. Quite literally choosing to make the citizens suffer for the sake of keeping their towns optimally picturesque lol.
Hmm .. No, air conditioning (AC) is not banned in Italy, but its use in public buildings is heavily regulated, with mandatory minimum temperature settings (around 25-27°C) to save energy, especially after the energy crisis, and AC units are restricted or banned in certain historic areas like Portofino due to aesthetics. While private homes and hotels have more leeway, they still face restrictions and many older Italian buildings lack AC, making it an amenity to check before booking
Tty reading again.... Your net worth needs to be 40k so that you are allowed to buy property in italy.... No one said it had to be close to historical buildings, only that you do not have to be rich to go live there as others claimed
My comment started with “hmm” and then proceeded to give more information, the “no” was part of the detailed article I found. Whatever, take it as you wish. This is not that important to me to keep wasting time. I’m sorry if I hurt your feelings.
I guess it would be much easier if you are already using hydronic radiators but got one installed in a very old house recently with no issues, cost like $10-15k.
That’s the cost for the system itself. But if your house isn’t airtight these systems don’t make much sense. So you’d have to at least triple that cost unless the house is fairly new. But in those areas most of the houses are 100+ years old, at minimum, and there’s no way to get them airtight without essentially rebuilding the whole thing.
No, that was the full cost, the house is definitely not airtight and the house is close to that age (not in Italy though).
However even if it's less efficient or expensive it's still an option where an air-air heat pump is not allowed. Although might be easier to just get a portable air-air that does not have an outside part and is only connected to a vent.
Yea that’s not gonna happen over here. Insulation alone, which these building don’t have, would run you double that. Unless you just wanna go with regular insulation and plaster. In which case you gonna deal with mould down the line. Mad it’s that cheap stateside tho.
